'LITTLE  PITTS"  STEEL  FRAME  THRESHER 


STEEL  FRAME  :  The  "Little  Pitts"  thresher  has  a  strong  and  rigid  steel  frame,  which 
will  not  warp,  sag  or  twist  out  of  shape.  The  upright  steel  channels  are  filled  with  hard  wood, 
the  wood  sides  of  the  machine  are  fastened  to  these  and  all  are  securely  bolted  to  the  chan- 
nel bars.  This  construction  makes  the  frame  practically  indestructible,  and  one  that  is  very 
light  in  weight. 

STEEL  FRONT;  The  "Little  Pitts"  thresher  has  a  solid  steel  front,  which  forms  a  rigid 
support  for  the  cylinder. 

THRESHING  CYLINDER:  The  cylinder  is  of  the  heavy  Pitts  type,  open  space,  has  12 
bars  and  is  equipped  v/ith  the  regular  heavy  Pitts  teeth. 

The  cylinder  shaft  is  I  ;'+  inches  in  diameter. 

Number  of  teeth  required  are  5  I -T5  and  2  1 -T6  in  the  threshing  cylinder  and  46-T5  teeth  in 
the  concave. 

CONCAVES:  The  concaves  are  made  heavy  and  strong  and  are  adjustable  in  a  true  circle 
to  the  cylinder.     The  concaves  take  the  regular  patent  cylinder  tooth. 

SEPARATION:  The  separation  in  the  "Little  Pitts"  is  done,  first,  with  the  Pitts  patent 
separating  cylinder  and  big  grates  behind  the  threshing  cylinder,  which  is  the  same  construction 
as  in  the  Niagara  Second  steel  frame  thresher.  This  insures  the  best  of  separation  at  this  point. 
Second,  with  the  one-piece  zigzag  straw  rack  or  bolter  with  a  lifting  fork  in  the  center  which 
gives  a  sharp  break  to  the  straw  and  changes  the  motion  or  flow  of  the  straw.

•LITTLE  PITTS"  STEEL  FRAME  THRESHER 


GRAIN   PAN:      The  grain   pan  in  the  "Little  Pitts"  is  a  one-piece  pan  with  a  long  chaffer     i 
attached  extending  over  the  sieves  in  the  shoe  so  as  to  relieve  the  mill  and  enable  the  shoe  to  do 
good  cleaning  at  all  times.     The  separating  bolter  and  pan  are  hung  on  rocker  arms,  are  perfectly- 
balanced,  and  are  driven  with  one  crank  which  is  placed  under  the  pan  outside  of  the  machine 
and  out  of  the  dirt. 

PI  1  MANS:  The  pitmans  driving  the  bolting  pan  have  metal  bearings  and  an  end  take-up 
which  is  easily  adjusted.     This  helps  to  make  a  quiet  and  smooth-running  machine. 

BOXES:  Self-adjusting  boxes  keep  the  shafting  in  perfect  alignment  at  all  times  and  are  a 
necessity  in  all  machines  where  smoothness  and  light  running  are  desired. 

SHOL:  The  shoe  has  an  end  shake  and  is  hung  on  four  ball  and  socket  hangers.  It  is 
driven  on  each  side  with  a  steel  crank  and  wood  pitmans  and  has  plenty  of  room  on  the  sieves. 
The  sieves  are  the  same  quality  as  used  in  the  Niagara  Second  steel  frame  machine. 

ALKjtKS :  Augers  are  used  both  in  the  grain  and  tailings  spouts,  which  results  in  positive 
Vi'ork. 

ELEVATOR:  The  elevator  is  of  ample  size  to  handle  the  tailings  under  all  conditions- 
It  has  an  endless  chain  belt  with  wood  blocks,  which  secures  a  positive  drive  and  satisfactory 
results. 


BELTING:  The  system  of  belting  on  the  "Little  Pitts"  is  simple.  Only  the  highest  grade 
of  leather  belting  is  used.     The  belts  are  wide  enough  to  prevent  slippage  at  low  tension. 

TRUCK:  The  "Little  Pitts"  with  drag  stacker  and  hand-feed  attachment  has  4-inch  face 
truck  wheels,  36  inches  in  diameter  front  and  rear.  These  wheels  are  of  the  highest  grade  steel. 
The  "Little  Pitts"  equipped  with  wind  stacker  and  feeder  has  6-inch  face  truck  wheels,  36  inches 
high  in  front  and   rear. 

The  axles  are  made  of  heavy  channel  iron  with  tapered  skeins,  and  are  well  braced. 

DECK:  The  "Little  Pitts"  has  a  steel  deck  which  is  absolutely  water  tight.  This  is  a 
decided  advantage,  as  it  protects  the  inside  working  parts  of  the  machine  from  being  damaged 
by  water. 

MEASUREMENTS  AND  WEIGHT  OF  MACHINE:  The  "Little  Pitts"  thresher  is  7 
feet  5  inches  high  from  the  ground  to  the  top  of  the  deck.  Length  of  the  "Little  Pitts"  thresher 
without  feed  tables  or  stacker,  is  14  feet.  Length  over  all,  with  hand-feed  tables  and  drag 
stacker  folded  is  20  feet.  The  weight  with  drag  stacker  and  hand-feed  attachment  is  4,800  lbs. 
Weight  with  self-feeder  and  wind  stacker  is  about  5,800  lbs. 

EQUIPMENT:  The  "Little  Pitts"  steel  frame  thresher  is  built  in  one  size  only — 28-inch 
cylinder  and  48-inch  rear. 

Equipment  can  be  furnished  as  follows: 

Feeder:     Hand  feed  or  Universal  self-feeder. 

Stacker:      1  8  or  22-foot  drag,  or  Russell  wind  stacker. 

All  types  of  grain  handling  attachments.     Can  be  equipped  for  hard  wheat  threshing.
